You must make the tabernacle with ten curtains made from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet wool with the designs of cherubim. This will be the work of a very skilled craftsman.
2 Longitudo cortinæ unius habebit vigintiocto cubitos: latitudo, quattuor cubitorum erit. unius mensuræ fient universa tentoria.
The length of each curtain must be twenty-eight cubits, the width four cubits. All the curtains must be of the same size.
3 Quinque cortinæ sibi iungentur mutuo, et aliæ quinque nexu simili cohærebunt.
Five curtains must be joined to each other, and the other five curtains must also be joined to each other.
4 Ansulas hyacinthinas in lateribus ac summitatibus facies cortinarum, ut possint invicem copulari.
You must make loops of blue along the outer edge of the end curtain of one set. In the same way, you must do the same along the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.
5 Quinquagenas ansulas cortina habebit in utraque parte, ita insertas, ut ansa contra ansam veniat, et altera alteri possit aptari.
You must make fifty loops on the first curtain, and you must make fifty loops on the end curtain in the second set. Do this so that the loops will be opposite to each other.

The leftover half curtain, that is, the overhanging part remaining from the tent's curtains, must hang at the back of the tabernacle.
13 Et cubitus ex una parte pendebit, et alter ex altera qui plus est in sagorum longitudine, utrumque latus tabernaculi protegens.
There must be one cubit of curtain on one side, and one cubit of curtain on the other side—that which is left over of the length of the tent's curtains must hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other side, to cover it.
14 Facies et operimentum aliud tecto de pellibus arietum rubricatis: et super hoc rursum aliud operimentum de ianthinis pellibus.

27 et quinque alios in altero, et eiusdem numeri ad occidentalem plagam:

28 qui mittentur per medias tabulas a summo usque ad summum.
The crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, must reach from end to end.

You must hang it on four pillars of acacia wood covered with gold. These pillars must have hooks of gold set on four silver bases.
33 Inseretur autem velum per circulos, intra quod pones arcam testimonii, quo et Sanctuarium, et Sanctuarii sanctuaria dividentur.
